Grand Knight Dan Leclair

Greetings from your Grand Knight
August 2010

My Brother Knights and Dear Ladies,

I hope everyone has had a restful summer! As September approaches so does the start of our Bean Suppers, looking forward to seeing all of the many volunteers return for another fun filled year. Let me take a moment to say THANK YOU for all your hard work and dedication.

I would like to extend my heart felt condolences to Brother Knight Don Gosselin as he lost his lovely wife Jeannine on August 9, May she Rest In Peace.

I would like to welcome and congratulate our newest member Eric Ginchereau! Eric took his First Degree on July 18th. 

Be sure to look at the Calendar of Events as we start again with our busy year of activities.

I want thank all who attended *Operation Wheelchair* at Togus on July 25th. The Veterans were very grateful for our presence.

I look forward to being your Grand Knight this Fraternal year. I ask each of you for your prayers and support as I will try to do the job the best I possibly can.

Melissa and I would like to wish everyone a wonderful month!

Vivat Jesus
Daniel Leclair
Grand Knight
